[MG Man]

when in doubt, use a hammer

[Ted_v2]

Why you wanna take off the bumper?

[Pointman-IA]

Jeez. Sorry that happened to you kingskid.

Pointman wha goin on wid dem Peugeot men???!

I have dealer manuals detailing the removal of the front bumper but still lil skeptical. Sometimes yuh follow steps and a clip might be easy to break and whatnot or the removal might be trickier based on what options a car came with. Doh even start on things like intercooler removal.

I don't know nah..

With respect to your software, with the one for Renaults, once you input the specs for our brand, it allows you to interact with the technical notes for THAT variant.

To digress a bit, this happened Sunday morning

Das real pain man... but hey that's what insurance is for.

Why you wanna take off the bumper?

To get to something behind the bumper. Think of these things:

1. S
2. Air
3. Charge
4. Cooler
5. Tree

Not necessarily in that order.

[nemesis]

I feel you have one word too many there.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Which word you woulda take out?

[nemesis]

Either air or charge.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

It's German so they over do it in every aspect. They say charge air cooler. Took me a while to realize it was an intercooler they were talking about.

Allyeh Zermans..lol.

[TriniVdub]

They say charge air meaning pressurized from off the turbo charge side aka turbo outlet, which feeds into ya heat exchanger (aka intercooler/cooler). Zey has always call z dass.

S3 Intercooler !

[nemesis]

Where on earth you seeing "inter" as one of the words there?

[greggle71]

Folks,
Anybody done the 20k service yet? Trying to gauge the bill. They said on the phone that I may have to leave the car for 2 days

[fastredcar]

Yes I did the service. Expect to pay anywhere around $3500-$4000. Depends on if you need new wiper blades..or anything else not covered in the warranty.
They initially told me $5000...

[fastredcar]

And yes you will have to leave it overnight. I dropped mine in the morning and collected next day in the evening.

[Mazdout]

What's done in a 20k service???? apart from oil/filters and probably a diagnostic scan. (Pads depending on travels)...forgot wiper blade change:)

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Fuel filter (supposedly), pollen air filter, radiator coolant, brake fluid, air filter, LABOUR.

[dalesmobileR]

In my Polo they changer the fuel filter, radiator coolant & brake fluid @ 20K Miles. AC Filter (pollen Filter) & Air Filter was not changed as yet. I'm gonna do a service next week @ 27k miles.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

^^^^ You had to leave it over night too? Remember how much it cost?

[dalesmobileR]

Yes overnight. It cost me about $2,300 but i carried my own oil {I use mobil 1 esp formula 5w-30} & oil filter (add $480). Labour was the real killer tho. I think it was over $1,000 b4 VAT, but then I don't know the details of changing the fuel filter. I assume the other things are pretty much easy..iduno..

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Oh ok. Did they tell you before hand what would be changed or was the bill a surprise?

[dalesmobileR]

i have a good relationship with my sales-rep. i asked him and he told me about $3,000...so it was no surprise

[nemesis]

Hah. That more expensive than BMW service.

[Pointman-IA]

Hah. That more expensive than BMW service.

Which model BMW to be serviced are you referring to?
